The Merribee Wedding Photographer | Eliza Jade Photography
The Merribee is tucked into the Kangaroo Valley escarpment, surrounded by ancient rainforest and farmland that feels genuinely untouched. It is a working farm and a wedding venue and it does both beautifully. If you are drawn to venues that have character, history and a landscape that does most of the heavy lifting, The Merribee is hard to beat.
A Venue That Photographs Itself
I have photographed weddings at The Merribee multiple times and the location never gets old. The old stone buildings, the timber barn, the wide open paddocks and the eucalyptus canopy above the ceremony area all create a natural, textured backdrop that suits my documentary style perfectly.
The Kangaroo Valley light is extraordinary in the late afternoon. There is a softness to it that you cannot replicate anywhere else on the South Coast, and it falls across The Merribee’s grounds in a way that makes every image feel warm and considered without any effort.
Real Weddings at The Merribee
No two weddings at The Merribee look the same, which is part of what makes it such a brilliant venue. Some couples lean into the rustic farmhouse feel with wildflower arrangements and barefoot ceremonies. Others bring in styling that contrasts beautifully with the raw surroundings. Either way, my approach stays the same, I document what is actually happening, rather than interrupting it.
I spend the day moving through the different spaces at The Merribee, following the energy of your day. During portraits, I will take you into the paddocks or along the treeline, wherever the light is best and wherever you feel most comfortable. The result is images that feel like they belong to the place.
What I Offer at The Merribee
I photograph weddings at The Merribee and across the Kangaroo Valley region from my base on the South Coast of NSW. I offer full-day coverage as well as shorter packages depending on your needs. 35mm film add-ons are available for couples who love that timeless look.
Kangaroo Valley Wedding Photographer
The Kangaroo Valley is one of the most beautiful wedding destinations in NSW and I am fortunate to photograph here regularly. Alongside The Merribee, I also work at La Belle Valle, Wildwood and other properties throughout the valley.
